#97 Mix Your Own Snacks

The next time you are planning for company and want to put out some snacks, consider this idea. Instead of buying pre-packaged snacks, look in your kitchen cabinets or pantry for that large clear plastic container with a screw-on lid which was filled with mixed nuts (or something similar) and designate it as your permanent reusable home-mixed snack container. Then go to your local grocery store’s bulk section and load up on nuts, seeds, dried vegetables or fruits, pretzels, Chex cereal, anything that would make for a good blend, and keep refilling your snack container once home. It’s so easy, and all that’s left to do is accept the complements from your guests when they ask you what brand you bought!
